This is my first one shot and first dragon ball z fic. Hope you like it.

"Dad you're getting to old for this please stop. You should be in bed resting." Trunks said behind me as I started up the gravity machine.

"No I will never stop… Never…" I said trying to sound tuff like normal, but it didn't work Trunks heard a note of sadness in my voice.

"Listen I know this isn't easy for you. It isn't easy for all of us. But this isn't the way to fix it Dad. Please stop you'll hurt yourself and I don't want to lose you to. Neither does Bra or anyone else." He said softly trying to talk me out of training. Trying to talk me out of using the last of my energy to blow up a few bots and this chamber. Possibly myself…

"I have to do this son. I'm sorry but you can't stop me." I said not looking at him.

"Daddy please no." Bra cried behind me. I jumped a little, I didn't know she had come up.

"Bra I'm sorry but I have to do this." I said. She came up and hugged me from behind.

"Daddy please don't do this you'll get hurt or even killed and I don't want to lose you two. I may be forty-seven years old now but I still need you! WE still need you." She cried. I turned to face her. She looked just like her mother. I couldn't bare it and had to look away.

"Dad she's right we may not be kids anymore but we still need. Especially now that moms gone. The funeral was only a couple days ago, you shouldn't do this now. Please just give it some time and I'm sure you'll feel better." Trunks said. I couldn't look at him. I couldn't believe it but I was crying now and I couldn't let them see. "Dad you know she wouldn't want you doing this. She would want you to keep living happy and healthy with us." My heart was shattered into a billion pieces all over again at these words. I knew he was right but I still felt so off. I needed to be with her or at least burn off some steam.

"Daddy please. Mom might be gone but we're still here with you." Bra said softly. I looked at her and sighed.

"We can't bring her back and I have to be with her." I said trying to fight the tears. Bulma, my one and only love. My mate. Was gone. I remember about a week ago lying in bed next to her. Watching her sleep, she was so beautiful. Then I fell asleep and the next morning when I woke up she was still asleep next to me. I nudged her arm to try and wake her but nothing happened. I spoke to her. Nothing at all. She had died in her sleep a few hours before I woke up. I took her to the hospital and they confirmed it. The funeral was a couple days after that. And these past two days since then I've been going nuts. I couldn't stand being without her and decided to do what I hadn't done in the past three years when I had decided I was too old for it. I came out here to train my ass off. We couldn't bring her back with the dragon balls because not only had she died naturally, and that was her second time dying. I couldn't bare it.

"Dad please. Give it time you'll be with her again. But this isn't the way to do it. Wait until your own time comes don't rush it. We need you, here with us and to stay strong like always." Trunks said. I stood there for a moment. I knew he was right and I was just being stupid I guess. I loved her so much and I could never let her go, but for now I would have to until my own time did come. Then and only then would I latch on to her and never let go. I let out a breath.

"Alright fine." I said and turned everything off.

"You know what daddy. If you get to the point you miss her to much you can call Baba and she her again for a day. Plus you still have us." Bra said smiling at me. I smiled back, not a smirk a smile. A real smile.

"Thank you baby…" I said and was walked out together alive and well just like Bulma would want us to do…
